Sporting Gijon have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 away win against Huesca in their previous league match.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Huesca, who had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Miguel Ángel Ramírez will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 4 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

They have had a strong run of form at The Estadio El Molinón-Enrique Castro recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.

Elche will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Levante UD with a 0-0 draw and a valuable point.  In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 28 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 11 shots on goal.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Elche will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.  

Goalscorer Sergio León will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Elche.
